SUNDAY’S DEBATE MODERATORS WILL BE EVEN MORE BIASED THAN LESTER HOLT Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz are basically Clinton allies Steve Watson | Infowars.com - OCTOBER 7, 2016 94 Comments 82 0 0 If you thought Lester Holt was a biased debate moderator, you should buckle up for even more partisanship this Sunday, as not one but TWO left leaning anchors will host the second stand off between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Holt interrupted Trump over 40 times during last week’s debate, and failed to ask Hillary Clinton about any of the scandals that have plagued her campaign, or fact check her on several claims that were untrue. The Washington Times reported that Trump was forced “to debate the highly anticipated event’s moderator as well as his Democratic opponent.” It was totally predictable, indeed, Infowars predicted that exact scenario would unfold with Holt at the helm. One has to wonder then what will happen with two biased moderators running the show. This Sunday will see CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and ABC reporter Martha Raddatz ask the questions. Cooper has not hidden the fact that he has no love lost for Trump. Just a few days ago, Cooper ran an entire segment devoted to attacking Trump over tweets he sent out regarding Hillary poster child Alicia Machado having a sordid past and having appeared in a sex tape. “Is it presidential?” Cooper asked Trump surrogate Jeff Lord, questioning if the tweets were “worthy of the office of president” and “worthy of somebody who would occupy the White House.” Cooper then stated “Porn is popular. Maybe he’s tapping into the porn electorate. I get it. Maybe that is his brilliance,” the CNN anchor sardonically suggested. Cooper has previously made similar comments about Republican supporters, calling them “teabaggers,” and quipping “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.” Cooper, of the so ‘Clinton News Network’, named so because of the vast amount of defense CNN has been running for Hillary over the past year, has been caught shutting down guests who talk about Hillary’s scandals and the charges that she is an ‘enabler’, even though CNN has previously covered the issue. Cooper has also regularly clashed with Trump, most recently during an interview where he flat out suggested Trump was saying Hillary Clinton hates black people when he suggested that she is a ‘bigot’. Perhaps the most troubling conflict of interest with Cooper, however, is that he has direct ties to the Clintons. As the Weekly Standard reported a year ago, Cooper was listed as a “notable past member” of the Clinton Global Initiative’s website along with a number of other big name journalists who were not required to pay the $20,000 membership fee. “In a nutshell, Anderson Cooper helped Hillary Clinton raise money, and now he’s presented as an impartial moderator for tonight’s debate.” the report noted, before a Democratic debate in October 2015. Cooper this week commented on his upcoming role in Sunday’s debate, referring to the way Lester Holt performed. “Lester Holt has been — some have criticized him for not being enough of a traffic cop, for not stopping Donald Trump from interrupting. I think there is a value in stepping back. You don’t want it to be about you. You want it to be a discussion about the two, and if one is interrupting the other, that tells the audience something, and people can make up their own minds about what exactly that means. I’m not sure it’s always good for the moderator to be stepping in and trying to direct and keep everything to time.” Cooper stated. For her part, Raddatz has previously cozied up to Hillary Clinton, calling her ‘glamorous,’ ‘trendy,’ and ‘cool’. When the world watched Hillary lie to Congress and squirm during testimony on Benghazi, Raddatz said Clinton was ‘charming’: Following last week’s debate, Raddatz noted that she was confused by some of Trump’s answers, specifically on nuclear weapons policy, and suggested that she would look to press him further in the next debate. “We had no idea what he was talking about in the end, whether he wanted first use or whether he didn’t want any first use. Maybe that next debate. We’ll see.” Raddatz stated. Rest assured, these two ‘moderators’ are anything but impartial. The depth to which their personal bias can infiltrate Sunday’s debate, which is to be played out in a ‘town hall’ question and answer style, remains to be seen.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/02/sources-ceo-at-democratic-national-committee-resigns.html The Democratic National Committee’s CEO and two other top officials have resigned in the wake of the leaked email controversy that marred the start of the party’s convention last week – in the latest shake-up at party headquarters. According to a DNC statement, CEO Amy Dacey; chief finance officer Brad Marshall; and communications director Luis Miranda left their jobs on Tuesday. The resignations mark the latest fallout from the email scandal that forced Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down on the eve of the Philadelphia convention. Those hacked emails exposed what appeared to be a pro-Hillary Clinton bias among top officials who at times disparaged primary rival Bernie Sanders. Marshall had written the most explosive email, questioning Sanders' Jewish faith and suggesting he could be portrayed as an atheist. He had written: “… He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.” He has since apologized for the missive. 2016 Election Headquarters Longtime Democratic operative Donna Brazile is now serving as the party's interim chair. Brazile said Tuesday that she has created a "transition team" to help prepare the party for its post-election mission. She said Tom McMahon, a former DNC executive director under then-Chair Howard Dean, will lead that group. In a statement, she thanked the departing officials for their work on fundraising and the party platform. She said: “This election is the most important of my lifetime, and the DNC will continue to recruit top talent to help lead the fight to elect Hillary Clinton and Democrats across the country. I am committed to adding to our team of skilled professionals who will make sure that Donald Trump is held accountable for his reckless rhetoric and harmful policies.” Clinton operatives who moved over to party headquarters after she had effectively secured the nomination in June will continue in their roles; that group includes DNC chief of staff Brandon Davis. Additionally, veteran Democratic strategist Doug Thornell will serve as an interim senior adviser to the party. Dacey already has a new job. She has been hired by Squared Communications, a Democratic consulting firm based in Washington. "As one of the top campaign strategists in our party, and with our experiences together on presidential, Senate and congressional campaigns, Amy will help our firm's clients navigate this and future election cycles," Michael Meehan, founder and CEO Squared Communications, said in a statement. Before joining the DNC, Dacey was executive director of EMILY's List, which works to elect female Democrats. The cache of more than 19,000 messages was made public by the group WikiLeaks just before the convention. Democratic Party officials learned in late April that their systems had been attacked after they discovered malicious software on their computers. A cybersecurity firm they employed found traces of at least two sophisticated hacking groups on the Democrats' network -- both of which have ties to the Russian government.
